AUTOMATIC LINE BREAK CONTROL


ATI is pleased to offer our
customers the proven and The Automatic Line Break Control module senses a pipeline break or major
leak through a unique Rate-of-Drop circuit. This circuit consists of a
patented pipeline technology
differential pilot valve which senses pipeline pressure and compares it with
that the flow control industry
the gas in a reference tank at the normal pipeline pressure. When the
knows as Gevalco. pressure in the pipeline decreases, the pressure in the reference tank also
decreases, but at a rate dictated by a calibrated orifice. This establishes a
different pressure between the reference tank and the pilot connected
directly to the pipeline. The rate of pressure differential drop is indicative of
the serverity of pipeline gas loss and the differetntial pilot valve, at the
calibrated setpoint, senses this Rate-of-Drop. When the pilot valve trips, the
actuator is activated to close the main pipeline valve.

The Rate-of-Drop circuit eliminates inadvertent shutdowns on short duration


pressure bumps. Utilizing the pipeline gas for both the pilot gas and power
media makes the Automatic Line Break Control system independent of
regulator or other power media failure.

The control module is calibrated with a Rate-of-Drop Test Kit, which monitors
m
the pressure levels in the pipeline, the reference tank, and the differential
pressure across the orifice. The kit includes the valves required to simulate a
line break for the purpose of testing and calibration.
